Rust Covered Remixes

Artist: King Pheenix / MasDaMind
Released online December 2010
Running time: 27:40

Also Featuring: Eminem, Thunderball, and MadHatter.

A complete track-by-track remix of the first, smash hit King Pheenix album, but from a different side of the story!

All 6 of the original songs from the “Hero vs. Villain” album have been lying in the gutter, slowly regenerating and mutating… After a month, the tracks were retrieved, but these were now genetically altered – the beats have been switched out, speeds were changed, genres were crisscrossed… But there’s one thing scientists can confirm: They are indeed fresh specimens for your ears.

The appropriately-named remixer MasDaMind has mashed up each track for a completely new, surprisingly quirky effect. See what your good or evil faction has been missing!

All of our music here at Scrub Club is free. However, if you enjoyed this release and would like to support our label, please make any size of donation to help all of our artists get new merch and promo items, book bigger shows, and get better equipment. Much love to you all!

Hero vs. Villain

Artist: King Pheenix
Released online July 2010
Running time: 27:13

This concept EP is King Pheenix’s first project released under the Scrub Club label, and the punches will not be pulled!

An evil, corporation-controlled faction called the “Hands of Blood” is on the verge of creating a New World Order. A superhero in every sense of the word named “The Truth” is on the prowl, looking to redeem his life by shutting them down. Unfortunately, the other sinister half of himself, “The Answer,” is also intent on taking over… but with ruthlessness and chaos as his inspiration.

On the good side of the tracks is a rebel gang that goes by “The Anarchitype,” who are the ultimate light in the shadow of the corporations. Will The Truth prevail and help lead The Anarchitype into a positive victory, or will The Answer best him and provide an unpredictable, greedy,  and bloody outcome? It’s hero vs. villain… which one are you?

ALBUM THANKS FROM KING PHEENIX

I always suck at these.

First and foremost, I would like to thank my family. Without them, I never would have tried to do anything with my music. You have always been supportive and I love you for it.

The awesome producers on this project – Pelicaine! You have had my back on so many beats and have been so awesome, thank you, bruh, and I cannot wait to meet you in person. Khryme, you are great homie, good looking out on the beat and I cant wait to drop in Stickam with ya again, man. Untested, you are a monster, your beats are redic, and “The Finale” was no exception. I can not wait to rock it with ya again, man.

MadHatter… Dude, you are like the older brother I never had. I can’t think of enough good things to say about my homie, but truthfully – Thank you for the chance to rock so many people, and wholeheartedly accepting me into our Scrub family. That and the mixing and everything, man. Can’t forget that, haha.

8bit, you crazy SOB, thank you for bringing me back into music, and for being my brother through and through. Also, thank you for putting up with me for all-nighters during Versus Mode, and all the badass music we have made together.

Karmageddon, you had my back when I needed you, man, and you are fam. All hail the kings!

My Scrub family, come on, you all are so fucking awesome! Doc for the nights on MW2 kicking ass during this process. Deaf for the ears on my stuff back in the day. Spooky, dude, you are one of my best friends and one of the most talented artists i know. Go to flickr.com/misterspooky, and scrubclub.spreadshirt.com and stare at this EP cover for bad ass examples of this man’s work.

I also wanna thank Zilla Persona and all of the folks who put the first NerdRage event together. It was the first live performance of “Traitor,” and it was beautiful opening

for MC Frontalot – That’s one of the goals I had when I started. You, me, 8Bit, Ecomog, and Frontalot killed that place. More Philly shows in the future!

If I forgot you, I am sorry, but don’t worry… I’ve got more albums and more time.

Last but not least… The fans. Holy Shit, I love each and every one of you. I can not wait to meet up with you guys and make more albums for you to love. Keep the faith in me, I will not let you down.

Much Love, KPX V1
